Fish the upside current portion of the pilings (3 pilings hold more fish than the 2 pilings), the cross-overs, and the bridges (the drawbridge is a great spot along the wood fenders) and actually the wood fenders before they pulled them out at the 3, 12, 17 mile bridges always attracted them this time of year. The season for them in the Lake begins when the water drops below 65 degrees (late fall and ends early spring). They leave the Rivers, Gulf, and marsh where they are spread out most of the year and converge on the Causeway foraging on pogies which is why white grubs with a beetle or paddle tail style are so effective. You also need to find the clear water as the clearer the water this time of year the more the fish tend to school up and bite. You also have two strains of Striped Bass here: Hybrids and true Striped Bass.
4 to 9 foot range is the most effective range jigging the lure in an up motion while letting it drop or just throwing it past the pilings & reeling it back with a steady retrieve. We have been fishing them since the late 70's in this area and during the 80's most of the people who fished the Causeway during this time of year only targeted the Stripers and jigged up redfish no one really fished for Trout because the Striper fishery was soo good and so much fun. Another lure is a white deep diving crankbait which also is deadly but I like throwing the white beetle with red spot and a 1/2 to 3/4 ounce jig head. 20 pound test is a must due to the pilings and the size of the fish.
